N.LEMIEUX, BEGS TO notify his many patrons that he has re-jgoved to No.29 St.Ursule Street.May 3,1397.\tL AUSTRALIAN CONFEDERATION.We are in receipt of a copy of the Adelaide (South Australia) Observer, a handsomely printed and well-edited |>aper, containing full accounts of the opening sessions of the Convention held for the purpose of deciding upon the proposed federa.t ion of the Australasian Colonies.The paper before us contains the portraits of the delegates to the Convention and a sturdy, intellectual-looking lot of men they appear from these pictures to be.All the Colonies in Australia proper are represented at the Convention excepting Queensland, and of its abstention the Observer says :\u2014\u201cAlready the Convention has been delayed owing to the indecision and aloofness of the North-Eastern Colony, and only a few weeks ago members of the Brisbane Cabinet stated definitely that Queensland could not be represented.Before that announcement they had played the game of \u2018will, and will not,\u2019 and what guarantee is there that they are not playing it again ?If a Parliamentary majority in favour of the Enabling Bil could not be obtained last session after severe struggling and with the aid of the Premier, what chance is there of its being secured in a special session, and with Sir Hugh Nelson absent in England?At any rate, the Convention would be exceedingly unwise if, in order to please Queensland, it adjourned before framing a Constitution.This is apparently what the Brisbane Government wants.In the alternative Queensland delegates might come in after the Constitution had been prepared, and before the final adoption of the Bill ; but what would be gained by that ?If they agreed to the measure they could enter the Federal Union without troubling about the Convention.If they did not agree to it their attempts to alter the decisions of the Convention would probably result in unpleasant complications.The general opinion will be that Queensland does not wish to appear as \u2018the old man out\u2019 of the Australasian Federal concert ; and that now, as before, it is merely trifling with the other Colonies in relation to this matter.\u201d Canada had even more trouble with Nova Scotia in the early part of her Confederation proceedings, and no doubt Queensland will fall into the line in due time just as Canada's Eastern Province did in years gone by.POTENT ELECTORAL INFLUENCES.It is impossible to read the opinions of the press upon the result of the recent general elections in this Province without being struck with the unanimity of serti-ment as to the part played in the contest by the Federal authorities.In addition to tho active participation of several Cabinet Ministers in the struggle, there arc reports from the various constituencies, from Gaspe to Ottawa, of tho improper use of l/oth threats and promises with the electorate on the part of the Dominion Government.Even apart from tho exercise of this authority and patronage, there is no doubt that the magic of Mr.Laurier s name would have largely affected the result.Our French-Canadian fellow-citizens must have a political idol.At one time it was Papinkag or Lakontaine or Tache or Cartier.Some few years ago it was Chapleac.Then came the rise and fall of Mercier.Mr.Laurier has been a tower of strength to his party eves since his elevation to the leadership.It gave him a practical command of the entire French-Canadian electorate, at all events in tho country districts.Nobody will deny that tho Federal Premier is eminently worthy to be a leader of his countrymen.Of a charming manner and personality he is also politically clean.His fellow-countrymen are more ardent politicians than are our\u2019s, but no English-speaking Liberal could have united them to the same extent as he has done.Neither the rugged Liberalism of Mr.Mackenzie nor the eloquence of Mr.Blake could have accomplished what the nationality of Mr.Laurier has done.Neither the hero-worship nor the political fidelity of the average French-Canadian may be divided.Sir John A.Macdonald and Sir Oliver Mowat, both at 'the same time held the confidence and support of Ontario, the one at Ottawa, the other at Toronto.In Quebec this condition of affairs would have been practically impossible, at least for any considerable period.It is probable that Quebec would have followed Ottawa by a small majority in the late elections, even without the glamor of Mr.Lavrier\u2019s name for she has always done so since Confederation.She remained Conservative until a Liberal Government came into power in the Dominion.When Mr.Mackenzie was Premier, Mr.Joly ruled for a time in Quebec.When Sir John A.Macdonald resumed the Federal Premiership, Quebec quickly relapsed into Conservatism.Mr Mercirr\u2019s appeals and peculiar methods were strong enough to carry the Province for a time against the political complexion of the Federal authorities, hut the clec torate seized the first opportunity afforded it to get back into line with the politics of the Dominion Government.Just now they have permitted themselves to be swept along upon the same tide that floated Mr.Laurier into power at Ottawa.Of course there has been a good deal of the usual misrepresentation of political opponents on the part of the Opposition press and orators.This has been largely aided and facilitated by the conduct of the Post Office Department at Ottawa, which has afforded facilities for the distribution through the mails of campaign literature and newspapers in the iotercsts of the Opposition, which it has denied to their opponents.One of the principal misrepresentations circulated against the outgoing Government is that with reference to the taxes.Though rendered necessary by the extravagance of the Mercier Administration, its apologists have succeeded, to a very great extent, in fixing the responsibility for them upon those by whom they were courageously imposed.This subject is dealt with in an exceedingly intelligent manner in the course of the following editorial article, taken from the columns of the Toronto Mail and Em-jrire : \u2014 \u201cMr.Flynn\u2019s Government in Quebec suffered yesterday a complete rout.The Conservative majority has disappeared, and the new House consists of 53 Liberals, 19 Con servacives and one iodependent\u2014a majority of 33 Liberals over all.It had been supposed for some time back that the parties would ruu pretty close together in the Anal heat.But an overwhelming disaster, even though the Liberals predicted large gains, as is their custom, was never seriously anticipated by either side.It is difficult to indicate all the circumstances which have produced the change.There can be no question, however, that the tide which rose in June last was a potent influence.Nor can there be any doubt that the Flynn Administration has been punished for the sins of its Liberal predecessor.It was itself an essentially clean and honourable Government.But it had of necessity, in order to cover the defalcations and extravagances of the Liberals, to resort to that most unpopular of expedients\u2014direct taxation.The people associated the taxes with the Government which laid them on, and not with the party which produced the conditions that tendered their imposition imperative.While Mr.Flynn had restored the financial equilibrium, and had relieved the public of a large measure of taxation, there remained the fear of further imposts.The Premier assured the electorate that alarm was groundless.W\u2019hile he took this position his opponents pointed to their friendship for the Ottawa powers, and indicated that the certain way to escape taxes was through a Liberal triumph, which would be followed by financial concessions from the Federal cheat, concessions which Mr.Flynn could not possibly secure.The victory was thus iu a measure purchased with the promise that Federal money should be devoted to the relief of the Province, or, to put the thing plainly, to the liquidation of the liabilities which the excesses, and, indeed, the thefts, of the Mercier Government had produced.Colour was given to the Opposition pledges by the participation of the Federal Ministers ,in the struggle.Israel Tarte, Sir Henri Joly, Mr.Fitzpatrick and Mr.Fisher engineered the election for Mr.Marchand, and openly advocated his cause.Of course these Ministers were especially active because, under the new system of Provincial and Federal alliances, the Provincial party renders election service in time of need in return for the influence which the Federal power exerts on its behalf.Mr.Flynn, while defeated, has experienced an honourable reverse\u2014a reverse of which he has no need to be ashamed.He governed the Province honestly and well, and he passes into Opposition with not a shadow upon his name, but, on the contrary, respected and honoured by all thoughtful citizens.The result is not deplorable for Mr.Flynn or for the Conservative party.It is deplorable, however, for Quebec, and for the Dominion.Quebec restores the old faction under» different leader ; and while the Province is imperilled because of the financial possibilities which this action presents to men who were not too honest in the past, the Dominion is equally endangered, seeing that the old wrongs, and new ones as well, may, owing to the terms of the compact between the Federal and Local Liberals, be visited upon us all.\u201d _ EDITORIAL NOTES.The Hon.F.G.Marchand, the coming Protnior of the Province, is the only member of tho Legislature who has sat con.tinuously in it since Confederation.The last sentence of tho article in yesterday\u2019s Chronicle, entitled \u201cEchoes of the Elections,\u201d and referring to Mr.Flynn\u2019s majority in Gaspe, was unfortunately placed, by error, at the end of the article headed \u201cIndecent Haste,\" with which, of course, it had no possible connection,\u2014excepting an accidental one.Her Majesty the Queen has been pleased to grant the permission asked by Mayor Parent, to give tho name of Victoria to the new park at the St.Charles and the reasons advanced by His Worship in asking the change of the name, and which are set forth in full in the official correspondence published in Tuesday\u2019s Chronicle, will certainly commend themselves to the citi- The rumor of the Duke of Leeds\u2019 ap pointment as Governor-General of Canada continues to be revived in the London papers.The political writer of the Mail says \u201cThe end of Lord Aberdeen\u2019s terra of service in Canada is now within sight.I hear that tho Duke of Leeds is very likely to succeed him as Governor.Tho Duke, perhaps better known as Lord Carmarthen, formerly M.P.for Brixton, is a popular man in and out of politics, and a capital sportsman, angling being his favourite pastime.His name was suggested in connection with tho post now filled by Sir Alfred Milner.\u201d Says the London Daily Mad :\u2014\u201cThe importance of the action of the Canadian Ministry in decreeing a preferential tariff for British goods cannot be over-estimatedi It is the first step towards the Imperial Zollverein contemplated, or rather, preached, by Mr.Chamberlain, and we shall do well to make the most of it.Free trade all round cannot be expected from youthful Colonies struggling for existence ;

Ottawa, May 13\u2014The afternoon proceedings in the House opened with the introduc-lion of Mr.Perry, member for West Prince, P.E.I., by the Minister of Marine and Mr.Yeo, Replying to a question by Mr.Davin, Hon.Mr.Sifton said that 5,384 farmers in Manitoba and the North-West owe the Gov erumenb for seed grain, the total amount of their indebtedness being $153,602.Mr.McMullen enquired :\u2014\u201cIs Alf.Jury, at present taking an active part in the fight for Sunday cars in Toronto, the Alf, Jury recently appointed Emigration Agent and supposed to be attendiog to his duties, and is it with the Government\u2019a consent and ap- Sroval that he is actually engaged in the con-ict ?\u201d Hon.Mr.Sifton replied that he had no knowledge of the matter except from the Toronto press.Mr.Jury had been granted a short leave of absence to go to Toronte to prepare for his departure.The Governmcut, while not assuming that it had a right to interfere with any offlcial\u2019s opinion» had not consented to or approved of Mr.Jury or any other official neglecting his duties to take part in such contests.The Deputy Minister of the Interior had, how ever, been instructed to enquire into the facts of the case.Mr.Bergerou made a personal explanation in regard to the charge made the other day that when he was Deputy Speaker he went electioneering in Antigonish County.Mr.Berseron wished it to be understood that it was not during the session.When the local election took place in his own County in 1892 during the session he remained at his post in Ottawa.Still, when offered the position of Deputy Speaker in 1891, it was upon the express understanding with Sir John Macdonald and Sir John Thompson that he should be free to take partin politics.Beeffles, he had Hon.Mr.Laurier\u2019scertificate as to his impartiality.Hon.Mr.Laurier remarked that when Mr.Brodeur was appointed Deputy the Liberals made no bargain at all with him.Mr.Prior, on the motion to go into Supply, asked for ioformation in regard to the item of mining machinery, as there was a deal of uncertainty abroad.The item reads :\u2014 \u201cMachinery of a class used aud required for smelting or refining purposes, and also all materials for the construction of such machinery in Canada to be for that purpose, the whole to be subject to regulations made by the Controller of Cunoms.Now from what he learned from the Controller, hardly any machinery could thus be brought in free, since there was scarcely any mining machinery that Could not be put to other uses.Take hoisting machinery, air compressors and ore cars, they were applicable to othef uses and the Controller could not say but that under the new item they would have to pay duty.So too with rock drills and ore crushers, so that he could not see that the new tariff was going to be of any benefit to tha mining industry.There was one smelting plant about to be erected in Brilish Columbia for which 50,000 tons of machinery were ready to be brought in.Would it corns in free of duty ?He contended that these regulations should be promulgated so that miners might know what machinery they cosld import free.Hon.Mr.Paterson replied that while the tariff wont into effect as a matter of arrangement, he could not make any formal régula tioos until the tariff bill had passed.Mr.Prior\u2014But how is it with machinery brought in now ?Who says what is to be fres and what is not to be free ?Hon.Mr.Paterson supposed it would be referred to Ottawa and he had not heard of any references so far.It could not be long, however, until the duly was settled and then the regulations would be made.Mr.Taylor urged that the Government proceed with the tariff instead of going on with Supply.The present uncertainty was most embarrassing to manufacturers and business men.Hon.Mr.Fielding said that while appre ciatiog the desirability of bringing the resolutions definitely before the House as soon as pnstible, there was no possibility of doing so this week.However, there was no unusual delay.He added that any delay that occurred was due to the desire of the Government to hear further representations of de-putstious who were anxious to present further facts to the Government.As to tho mining machinery, the complaint was made that the old system was open to vexatious complications and the new tariff proposed to admit all machinery free, but riuce then rs Ereseatat ions had been made that it would e preferable to make a specified list of items which should be placed on the free lisL Hon.Mr.Foster pointed out that here was the Government, three weeks after having brought down its tariff, which from that moment became law, not able to say that instructions had been sent out to the Customs officers as to what classes of machinery should be admitted free.The excuse that tho tariff was not yet passed upon was absurd.The tariff was law the day it was brought down.The business of the country was being demoralized because of this uncertainty, which was as great as before the tariff was brought down, and not one manufacturer of mining machinery ha%since been able to conclude a single sale.This Cabinet of business men was surely acting tu a most unbusinesslike way.He would beg the Controller and Minister of Customs to come to a conclusion ; not to sit there lazily and helplessly while the business of the country was suffering.The discussion upon this matter lasted nntil six o\u2019clock and was resumed after dinner, coocluding with a speech by Hon.Mr.Foster on the evils of the spoils system introduced by the Government.Dr.Roddick protested against the reduction of the vote for the tidal service from $15,000 to $2,500.The work was undertaken at the instigation of the British Association, which adopted a memorial to the Minister of Marino and Fisheries in 1884.This was supported by the Quebec Board of Trade and by a petition from the masters and officers navigating the St.Lawrence.The work was most important, both for science and for the shipping interests, especially in view of the fast AiUntio service.The House adjourned at 11.30 o\u2019clock.SENATE.Ottawa, May 13\u2014In the Senate this afternoon, Sir Oliver Mowat introduced three important public bills.\\V ith the consent of tho Senators he withdrew the bill introduced in the early days of the session amending the Criminal Code and iu its stead introduced another and similar measure.He explained that after ho had introduced tho former bill strong representations had been made to him against some of the proposed amendments to the law and also urging him to add to the number of the proposed amendments.The bill now introduced contained the principle provisions of the former bill and a number of new ones, including a clause raising the age of consent in cases of seduction from 16 to 18 years.The provisions in the former bill respecting cofleriea and race meetings were retained in the new measure.The second bill is an entirely new neaeure entitled : \u201cAn Act respecting the jurisdiction of the Exchequer Court of Canada with respect to railway debts.\u201d It provides that the Exchequer Court shall have jurisdiction, at the instauce of mortgagees or holders of mortgage bonds or debentures, to order the sale of any railway not wholly within the limits of any one Province, or any section of railway when such question is not wholly ithiu such limits, or of any railway other-ise subject to the legislative authority of the Parliament of Canada ; also to order or decree foreclosure of the interests of persons or companies owning or entitled to such rail-ays, or the equity of redemption therein.Whenever in the like

Ottawa, May 13\u2014The Special Committee appointed to deal with Mesere.Cowan\u2019s and Taylor\u2019s bills to restrict the importation and employment of aliens met this morning.Both bills are copies of the American law.The Chairman, non.L.H.Davies, favored legislation to apply to such places as are injuriously affected by the present American law aud not to apply to the whole of the United States.He objected strenuously to the bill applying to the border line between Maine and New Brunswick, as it would mean disaster to 200 or 300 Canadians who go annually to the Maine woods.The trend of the Maritime Provinces is all into the United States.There might be circumstances at Detroit or Buffalo which wonld compel Canadians to do something in self defence, but this arose not so much from the law as from officious interference of busybodica like De-barry.Mr.C>wan said he had reason to believe the United States Government is considering a measure to relieve Canada from the operation of Canadian labor law.The concensus of opinion favored an alien labor law applying only to countries which enact such legislation against Canada.A clause was added on motion of the Chairman to give tho Government power to make a law applicable whenever necessary by proclamation iu the Canada Gazette, aud the Committee adjourned to consider the same.My Neighbor Told Me About Hood's SarHaparilla and advised mo to try it\u2014Thin is the kind of advertising which gives Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla the largest sales in tho world.Friend tells friend that Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla cures ; that it gives strength, health, vitality and vigor, and whole neighborhoods use it ae a family medicine.Hood\u2019s Pills act easily and promptly on tho liver and bowels.Cure sick headache.Ladies\u2019 Sailor Hats\u2014Also for GirW, j In White Straw, iu great variety, at 38c., 48c., 58c., 65c., 78c., 88c.Black, Cream and fancy bands.Ohildren\u2019s Straw Hats\u2014White, with turned up brim, trimmed with Ribbons, 48c., 58c., 68c., 79c.t $1.00 and $1.10.Boy\u2019s Man-o\u2019-War Straw Hats\u2014 With names of ship», etc., at 58c., 68c., 78c., 85c., 88c.and 95c.These hats are very suitable for Sxilor Suits.Ohildren\u2019s Leghorn Hats \u2014At 88c.Infants\u2019Straw Hats\u2014Fine, at 95c.and $1.10.Boy\u2019s Boating Hats -At 29c., 33c., i 42c., 65c., 68c., with plain and fancy bands.Hats for Country\u2014At 9c., 18c.and 24c.Tan Sailor Hats\u2014At 24c.and 45c.Flowers\u2014A choice assortment, Roses, Lilac, Chrysanthemums, Wallflower, Poppies, etc., 20c., 30c.and 38c.per spray.I Parasols\u2014Entire new stock.In Shot Rustling and Surah Silks Artistic handles.Prices, $1 78, $1.88, $2.10, $2 18,$2 38, $3 10.^ White Satin, at $1.88 and $2.78.Children\u2019s Parasols -At 35c., 39c., 45c.50c., 58 c., andin Silk, at 85o., $1.10, $1.18.All new goods.Veilings \u2014A new assortment, 20c., 25c , 30c., 38î., 48c.and 68c.In Black Chenille Spot, Russia Net, White Spot and White and Cream Cycling Veils.I Laces \u2014White, Cream and Batter Brussels, at 13c., 15c., 18c., 20c., \u201824c.and 29c.i White washing Torchons, at 10o., 15c.and .18c.per dozen.Ribbons\u2014Over a thousand pieces in stock, plain and fancy colors.Very choice fancy, at 9c., 21o., 30.*, 38c., 48c.and 68c.Blouse Materials\u2014In Lawns, at 20c.; in Spotted Muslin, at 24c.; in French Organdie Muslins, at 21c, and 30.*.FABRIQUE STREET.May 11.1897.Tho Senate Committee has reached au un-derstauding and practically agreed that the debate on the tariff bill bhall bogiu May 24 tit.Ladies Should Wear Our Heptonette OXsO ALKS !
